# [Report Shows ThinkCERCA Demonstrates Gains Equal to One Year of Growth](https://blog.thinkcerca.com/report-shows-gains)

ThinkCERCA received attention this week after [LEAP Innovations](http://www.leapinnovations.org/) published its findings that the ThinkCERCA platform showed significant gains for students utilizing the tool. Tested in a pilot program containing five Chicago Public Schools, eight charter schools, and two Archdiocese schools, the ThinkCERCA platform was particularly impactful for low income students.

> "ThinkCERCA, a critical thinking and learning framework, was found to have an extremely large impact, producing gains equivalent to roughly an extra year’s worth of academic growth."
